Without meaning to, most of us often bluff or bully our way through being moms and dads. Pride and fear have given us an EGO problem: instead of Exalting God Only, we find ourselves Edging God Out.
Afraid to admit our limitations, afraid of what the neighbors might think, we stumble into bad decisions that can damage a child or spouse for life. We wear ourselves out by going it alone. We know it's no way to live and no way to lead our families—but we don't know how to change.
Fortunately, the greatest servant leader in history has shown us a better way. In all those familiar—and not so familiar—Bible stories about Jesus lie the secrets of leading our families with less stress and more success.
Lead Your Family Like Jesus can transform your household, turning selfishness to caring, conflict to peace, and resentment to forgiveness. Discover how to lead by serving, instead of being served. And see why being the right kind of leader is the best gift you can give your family—and yourself.
"I could have used this book 25 years ago! What a gift...it is parenting steeped in the love of God. Who could ask for more?"
